My fake Slowbroooo ;___;

[Monzae]

When I went to Sydney in 2000, I went to Fox Studios, and outside Fox Studios was like a Pokemon Stand with everything Pokemon in it. I bought some cards from this guy, and when I got them, I realised they were laminated and the back on them was a rather bright purple..FAKES..I was highly irritated that people could do that...considering I got a card that had Slowbro on it and a Slowpoke that was shiny >.<

Has anyone else got any fake cards that were similar?

I will post some piccies soon if I can..

Note: The Slowpoke I got in the fake pack has 'edition 1' in the bottom left corner, just underneath the picture, and on the bottom right side it has a fossilised hand looking thing...

Wow,that really sucks,so guy going to a pokemon convention and selling fake cards -.-,well at least you have a one of a kind maybe?I have never seen it before.

I shall post it as soon as I get my Digital Camera so you can have a look :)

I saw a whole big article on a news show once about fake Yugioh Cards and such being sold, and I swear I saw the same guy on there that sold me that fake card pack!....It was freaky!

 

[AdamHays]

That is freaky 0.0,you should have reported him.

yah, you really should have reported him to Fair Trading and Consumer dep. or whatever it is... I had to go there well my nan did to pick up my ABN form for my book...

like I only ever trust cards I buy in the special packs or a few others that actually look very realistic. not the best way but hey. not everyone's dishonest.

I could've, but when I opened the cards, I was already out of Fox Studios, and I was only 9, so I DID think they were "Special Edition 1 & Fossil edition" cards xD I would have got him bad...he would have been doing some serious time...but then again, like all the others, they just deny it and flee -___-;

He may have been selling them knowing they were fakes because some people do collect fakes. Are you sure there wasn't a sign around saying that there was fake cards? You may have not been paying attention. Just a thought.
